Airfoil: Music in the air
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Wandering through the expanses of the network in search of solutions, the ability to turn Apple TV into a hi-fi system discovered Airfoil, An application that allows you to stream music from any PC or poppy on AppleTV, Airport Express or another Mac / PC, equipped with a special program. The most interesting thing here is that you can use any audio source application, so you can, for example, played back using Apple TV music or FLAC format OGG Vorbis. Given the fact that the intercepted audio stream encoded in Apple Loseless get a good source of high-quality sound.
In fairness, I note that the same functionality is and in iTunes, which, however, makes it possible to translate only files playable by himself.
Airfoil and have a built-in video player, the good of which, however, a little: it transmits only the sound but not the image.
What can be noted yet? From the positive - an equalizer, allowing little tweak the tone, balance and volume. From negative - some delay during playback (when changing tracks, for example, have to wait a few seconds).
The price of pleasure - 25 dollars.
